Im looking at three different pairs of 686 pants, but i was curious on how durable they are. I have trouble finding strong pants but these look sick so I though i would look into the durability of them. The three pants Im looking are have a link below, are they comparable to as durable as orage pants? Any comments on 686 pants will help

from my experience 686 makes some of the best highest quality and durable outerwear on the market.

I have the acc, and the suspenders are super sick, also they fit massive and steezy, and under no circumstances would rip.

i have a pair of the manual esse pants and i ripped them a lot down by my feet because of crossing my skis. i also ripped out the crotch, but i called up 686 and they re-did all the seams. great customer service too.

the smarty original cargos are slightly bulkier and heavier at first but you can wear shorts under them they are so warm with the liner.
